Analysis of 104 breast cancer biopsies (removed prior to any treatment with tamoxifen or chemotherapeutic agents) from patients aged between 31 years and 89 years at the time of diagnosis (mean age = 58 years). Twenty were less than 50 years and seventy-seven women were 50 years, or older, at diagnosis. The size of the tumours ranged between 0.6 cm and 8.0 cm (mean = 2.79 cm). Eighteen tumours were T1 (<2 cm) in maximal dimension; 83 were T2 (2–5 cm) and 3 tumours were T3 (>5 cm). Eighty-two wer...

Deep data QC

metadata only · no data-level QC for this type

Standardized, field-standard QC computed by touching the data — every metric states how it was obtained

No quantitative QC rubric exists for this data type yet, so it is deliberately left unscored — this is an honest "not applicable", not a poor rating.

QC cost 4 s compute

measured = computed from the data · extrapolated/reported = derived or from the repository · dq-1.0 · provisional — verify independently

Scientific quality

Based on hands-on reproduction of the papers that use this dataset. A reproducible paper that stands on this data is positive evidence; a flagged one is a prompt to look closer — never a verdict on the dataset itself without the evidence.
